শ্রী ভাস্কর স্তোত্রম্

Twenty-four verses, every one of them closing on the same salutation — Bhāskarāya namo namaḥ — with a preface directing that they be spoken while prostrating full length. The names are grouped as they go. First the Sun as swan, as bird, as the one who rides the winged one and is drawn by green horses; then as the light of the three worlds and the single eye of every world; then the Trinity, Brahmā and Viṣṇu and Rudra, each saluted in turn. From the tenth verse onward the hymn becomes almost entirely medicine, calling him destroyer of every disease, sole physician for the sickness that is existence itself, destroyer of kuṣṭha, of poverty and of grievous wrong, gold-coloured, ender of the three torments — and last, the one who gathers up and carries off the fear that comes of ignorance.
